I Support Mayor Rob Ford
Toronto prides herself as an underground city and it shall continue to be so.
Quoting from Toronto Star, Mayor Rob Ford said, "The premier, I'm very confident is going to continue building subways." He's right to say that the light rail system will not be practical during our long winter months. I really feel that subways in cold Toronto NEEDS to be underground. But the question is will Mayor Rob Ford implement his plan.

EXTRACTS FROM 24H 26TH JAN 2012 Thursday
(1) GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER: PROVINCE
"Clearly a year after the MOU,.... the city doesn't have its act together," Ontario Transportation Minister Rob Chiarelli said. "I think more than anything else the people who live in this community are entitled to see progress," Premier Dalton McGuinty said.
McGuinty and Ford struck the MOU last year, turning the old transit city plan of four suburban light rails into one underground Eglinton line at a cost of $8.2billion.
(2) STINTZ TO FORD: BURY LESS OF THE EGLINTON LRT IF YOU WANT A SHEPPARD SUBWAY
"If all the money is used up on Eglinton..I don't know how we would extend Sheppard," TTC Chairman Karen Stintz said on Wenesday.
She farther said, "I think there is broad-based support that extending Sheppard subway makes sense and now it is a question of how to achieve that."
The way to advance Sheppard, Stintz believes, is to take savings from having the east end of the Eglinton LRT at street-level and using them to drive the extension of the Sheppard subway as far as the city can afford.

Extracts from 24H (Boxing Week)
"Only a few people outside the Royal Canadian Mint and parliamentary circles have seen new Loonies and Toonies - which have yet to be approved for circulation. Government officials predicted the new $1 and $2 coins will cost $15million less to produce annually. The government, whose sittings were interrupted by the federal election, hasn't made a ruling on the steel-hearted coins switchover for $1 and $2 coins."
"The NDP marked its highest high before it received a desvastating blow in 2011. In the May 2 election, the NDP shocked observers and achieved its greatest political feat in its 50-year history: Winning 103 seats and claiming official Opposition status from the Liberals. The social savvy Jack Layton was at the centre of the party's success. His death on Aug 22 was an emotional blow to the country.."
"Where will you be when the clock hits midnight? Now the Christmas has come and gone, it's time to think about New Year's Eve. Thousands of people are planning to travel to New York, Boston, Edinburgh or closer to home, Niagara Falls for some of the world's biggest celebrations.."
